Fred Basset by Alex Graham for October 14, 2023

He just can’t win….. if it ain’t honey-do, it’s honey-don’t.

usually it’s you underfoot Fred so…

I can greatly sympathize with Mrs. Dear. But, Fred, you are never underfoot. You might sit right behind her, to the side of her and watch her with those begging eyes, but you have more sense than Mr. Dear than to get on front of her at the stove.

If he’s doing necessary work then “nuisance” is kind of a harsh word. Getting in the way a little, maybe….

Mr. Dear doesn’t look too happy about it either…

Fred just stay where you are and let Mr Dear take the "Kitchen " heat ;-)

You’re a good boy Fred! At least it’s not you getting in the way.

Wet Saturday here also, a nap is calling convincingly.

It’s too wet to be painting. It’ll just peel up in a while.

High winds last night and today. A few Wheely bins over but that’s all I’ve seen…..

He’s been putting it off for months…let him finally finish it. Lunch can wait a few minutes.

Must get to the Lowe’s and get a bunch of off-white color samples. I don’t think the trim in this house has been touched up since the 1997 remodel two owners back.

Sigh, can’t win for losin’! Not that he shouldn’t have taken lunch into account when he started…

Sorry. Don’t like this harpy. Miss the old always pleasant and smiling lady.

Typical, we men can’t win for losing. We do something (wanted done) around the house and get yelled at for doing it because it doesn’t ‘fit in’ with her timeline ! ! !

He is putting her in the situation that she may get burned because of his actions. Think man think!

You could help him …… Fred …….. maybe get on her other side ……. ;)

Can’t say anymore when Fred’s right!…

Wish my brain would co-operate with my need to get things done that need doing.

I’d be pleased a chore was getting done, myself. Send him to my house.

Mr Dear can’t win he is only doing things Mrs Dear needed doing take a long nap on your favorite chair fred
